[Bug 726126] [NEW] Adobe Shockwave Flash runs in spite of NoScript settings trying to block it. It also crashes my system.

[Sam Azer]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Using:

Kubuntu 10.10 beta 4.6
Firefox 4b12
Adobe Flash 10.2r152
NoScript 2.0.9.8

Problem:

* NoScript, configured to block all flash objects including those on
whitelisted pages, is not blocking the flash objects.

* Flash objects run on page load and, after a few minutes, the entire
system crashes.

Desired behavior:

* NoScript used to be able to detect a flash reference in a web page and
replace it with a panel. Clicking on the panel would cause the Flash
object to load and run. This behavior is very valuable for a variety of
reasons.

* Any flash object on any page seems to crash the entire system after a
few minutes. This may be the result of a problem with Flash but it might
also be the result of a bug in the current Kubuntu Beta code that is
triggered by Flash. Ideally the problem should be identified. It would
be nice if there's a possible workaround or a fix to cause the system to
behave gracefully rather than crashing.

Thanks for your service,
All the best,
Sam.
